FAST 8 FUN FACTS
Bryce Dallas Howard
@BryceDHoward
Day #60 and that's a wrap!
Honestly, I ugly cried. Bye, Hawaii!
#JurassicWorldFallenKingdom Following his breakout role as the rumbustious Steve Stifler
in American Pie (1999), Sean William Scott was the go-to
guy for comedies requiring a doofus or hellraiser.
His most prolific period was during the early '00s, appearing in
two American Pie sequels, Road Trip, Dude, Where's My Car?, Old
School and The Dukes of Hazzard in rapid succession.
However, once the AP franchise wrapped in 2012, Scott
disappeared along with it, although he could still be heard as the
voice of Crash in the Ice Age sequels.
Scott also starred in an ice hockey comedy called Goon (2011)
– as a Stifler-like bouncer who becomes an enforcer for a minor
league team. Which brings us to a spooky coincidence that
occurred while we were pondering what had happened
to the Stiffmeister...
True story: As this piece was being prepared, a screener disc
for an upcoming DVD release arrived on the editor's desk. Nothing
strange about that, but the film was Goon: Last of the Enforcers – a
sequel to the aforementioned film, starring guess who?!
So it would seem Sean William Scott is indeed still working, and is
making the transition to serious roles in his next film – the coming-
of-age road movie Green Dolphin, in which he plays an abusive foster
parent and drug dealer. That's a long way from Steve Stifler.
Whatever Happened to...
1. Filming in Cuba for F8
was partially done in a
helicopter, marking the
first time an American
helicopter, piloted by Fred
North, has flown in Cuban
national airspace.
2. Iceland's reportedly largest
explosion occurred during
filming for F8.
3. Nathalie Emmanuel
(Ramsey) and Kristopher
Hivju (Rhodes) both star in
Game of Thrones.
4. Charlize Theron's Cipher is
the first female antagonist
in the Fast franchise.
5. F8 is the first film since
Tokyo Drift not to star Paul
Walker.
6. The film featured close to
700 vehicles.
7. Mr Nobody's 'Toy Shop'
hosts over $17 million
worth of cars and other
vehicles.
8. The 'Zombie' scene where
cars fall out of a multi-
storey carpark included 30
real cars.
When was the last time 'The Final Chapter' in a
franchise was actually that? The latest series to
return (after having supposedly wrapped up in 2010)
is Saw – the horror franchise created by James Wan
and Leigh Whannel. Now old Jigsaw and his diabolical
death traps are returning with another pair of Aussies
behind the camera. Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig
( Daybreakers, Predestination) are
putting the final touches on the
eighth installment, titled Jigsaw,
with Tobin Bell returning as the
eponymous psychopath. Expect
gore galore – and plenty of buzz
– when Jigsaw opens in cinemas
this Halloween.

"The digital world has completely reinvented filmmaking, and
I love it! I was one of the first to embrace the digital world, going right back
to The Getaway[1994] – I edited that digitally. And then The Bank Job[2008]
was one of the first film I shot digitally. I'm a stills photographer, too, so I explored
digital right back when the very first cameras came out and saw the potential of
it and sort of embraced it, understood it, and wasn't intimidated by it. The
digital world is obviously where it's at now – film is dead!"
